See the light!

Dark nights are no reason not to cycle!! With lights like the Electron F650, you can see all that you need to see, at a price that won't break the bank. The F200 is superb value and an ideal back up, urban commute light or head torch.

For the higher outputs,we have the new Raveman range, with units giving up to 1200 lumens.

Don't be wet!

When the weather is wet and windy, road riding is far more pleasant (Or at least less unpleasant) if you have a suitable bike, that will take full mudguards and that is also forgiving in wind. Don't listen to the boy racers, use your head!!

Still hard to beat!!

A properly built traditional wheel still has much to commend it, particularly for the cyclist who has to fund his or her own sport. Each spoke costs pence, rather than pounds and is also easy to get. Traditional spokes are still much as they have been for many years, simply being available in varying gauges and lengths.

Few, if any, minimal spoke, factory wheels are as completely round as a traditional 32 or 36 hole wheel. The reduction in the number of spokes results in the need for a heavier rim, which is able to tolerate being supported in fewer places. In quite a few cases, this results overall in a heavier wheel.

The Mavic Open Pro rim, built around a Shimano 105 hub, is a good balance of lightness, reliability, serviceability and value.

Don't get in the middle of a bad chain reaction.

Get the most out of your chain but not at the expense of your sprockets and chainrings. A chain wear gauge will tell you when you need to renew the chain. We offer two types, the more sophisticated being the Park Tools version, whilst the VAR chain checker is a simple go/no go gauge, that is a lot cheaper.

Learn to D.I.Y. properly.

Unsure of what to do when working on your bike? This book will offer guidance on what to do and what to use.

Arrive with your car and bike in one piece!

For those of you who don't own a vehicle big enough to accommadate your bikes, carry them in safety with one of these super quality Hollywood racks. At these prices can you afford to take a chance and damage your bike or car?

Are you an Octopus?

If so look no further! For those of us with fewer arms, one of our workstands is the ideal way to make bike repairs and cleaning less fraught!

Are you a magician?

If so, maybe you can align your rear gear hanger, by eye, with a Mole grips.

All cyclists should have a rear gear hanger alignment tool!

If your gear hanger is out of line, it is IMPOSSIBLE to set up your gears properly! This tool allows you to easily and quickly check and correct gear hanger alignment.

Unless the rear gear hanger is aligned correctly, the gear system will never function as intended by the manufacturers.

One fall is enough to cause a problem.
